I think the requirements for the flag are just fine as they are. For the best clans it is easy, sure. Because they will be playing in Typhoon for the majority of the season. For other clans it's not so easy as they will reach it later. I am wondering, did all of the members from your clan who participated in CW get the flag or just the few who played most?

Something I've always wondered is why the Friday night is not included in the CW timeframe? I mean, most people with jobs are finally free that night. I don't know about you guys but Wednesdays and Thursdays for me just don't work because of sports training, evening school, etc. What is your take on this? And another topic: I'm sure this is less the case in typhoon and lower but once your clan is in hurricane you tend to play the same opponents again and again which gets dull after a while. Altough I'm a huge fan of the league system to create the most fair matchmaking possible it becomes quite annoying to get the same opponents twice per night. Do you guys feel the same about this or am I just being a whiny c...? Just as @Boris_MNE already mentioned the free xp farm is really good. Got 1 million this season whoopwhoop. Saved up all the free xp flags and camos so I could make up to 11k per win. Noice.

"I hope I do atleast my average damage this game." *shoots guns once* "Fk yeah!"

Afraid of change? No, I played this game for over 2 years now and the torpedo mechanics haven't changed. Nor do I see a reason why they should. Yes, the lower tiers can be a torpedo spamfest but since they are all limited to about 4km you should be able to shoot the ones shooting torpedos at you. And no, bbs aren't inferior to CAs and DDs just because they don't have torpedos. They have a different playstyle which you'll have to learn so you don't get torped to death each game. There are plenty of guides available for that so I'm not going to elaborate here. I don't see anything wrong with the current torpedo mechanics in this game really. It is pretty straightforward. You just have to be aware of the positions of enemies and the angles from where possible torpedo attacks might come. If you get devastating struck by them in your bb or ca that's misplay on your behalf. You probably sailed in a straight line and got punished for it. I'm not trying to belittle you in any way, just trying to point out that it takes some time and effort to learn how to use torpedos and how to avoid eating them in the face. It's not the gamemechanics, it's inexperience.

Probably a secondary specced yugumo hahaha! But this is just sad really... Someone who is always AFK probably has a higher winrate.

If there are bots that are able to say in chat: *Edit, then probably yes.

How about a system like the ranked reward system after you get the flag? E.g. after getting the flag; first victory - some flags Fifth victory - some doubloons Tenth victory - some... Dasha signed underwear..? No just kidding, but you get my idea.

I was just looking at it ingame and you're right. Makes you wonder how they got up there, doesnt it? Guess it is the good old "A good team doesn't have to consist out of good players".

If you want to keep your sanity playing randoms you should at least play in a division. Dear lord, last week has been abysmal when I was playing solo.

It is also easy to play enough games to get to rank 1 making the R1 flag just about meaningless when it comes to defining ones skill. Point is that most of the players who achieve the stalingrad flag have to be at least half decent. How many people do you think got the stalingrad-flag and are utter potatoes? Not a great amount I assume. There arent alot of really bad players in Typhoon and higher anyway. They are there, but not in great numbers. How different is this for ranked, where half of the R1 playerbase seems to be.... well.... lets say "not very good" although they seem to be really determined in order to play 500+ battles. So I'd rather be in a team full of stalingrad flag owners then in a team of R1 players.

Did you just say you like to grind your way through the ranks during ranked season?

In high tier DD gamplay you dont rush into caps. Maybe on certain maps where you can get into the cap behind cover in a safe way without getting shot to crap in the first minute. You scout the enemy and have some engagements with other DDs around the caps at the start. Going straight into the caps in suicide. First get to know where the enemy radar ships have went on the map so you can plan your actions accordingly, second try to figure out where their DDs are so you can choose your engagements with them, third try to cap a cap if possible. The damage will come in the later stages of a battle where you can kill lonely BBs or CAs while flanking them. But in order to get those huge dmg numbers you will have to play smart and survive. I mean, when I look at the enemy lineup first I look to their radar ships: "Ah, a des moines, he will probably go to this or that spot since thats what DM's do. Ah, a Moskva, got to keep an eye out for him. Hmmm, minotaur could be radar, have to consider that." Not to mention when there is a division you can probably tell if you spot one of the ships the others arent far away. Playing against radars isnt rocket science. If you know all the ranges and max durations of the enemies' radars then it is quite doable to work around. Patience is the key. Caps can be recapped but you cannot respawn.

Not drastically but yes, I have noticed. These days teams consist of mostly bad players. I've stopped asking players if they are bots because there are just so many that play non-humanly bad. How can people enjoy this game and grind all the way to tier 10 with ultrabad average damage, below 40% winrates and below 10% survivability rates.... Just how? Where is the fun in dying and losing every time? How can people have no desire to even try to win/git gud and still put thousand of hours into this? So many questions.

*after 5 defeats in a row* Nahhh, I'll play one more. This time it is definitely going to be a win. For sure. It is just not possible that I will be teamed up with windowlicking,braindead gluesniffing..... people. Right?

@xXx_Blogis_xXx Enemy CV must have been so happy to see you after three or four defeats in a row. ;)

As true as this is and also not a good aspect of the current state of this game IMO, can you blame them? Back when we started there werent so many shiny T8 premiums to buy that where constantly being promoted and that you could win through events and such. Maybe wargaming should have a warning sign for players that havent reached the specific tier they want to buy a premium from. Something like:

I think T10 will be rather evenly spread out between ships. Not like T8 where it will be a LoYang/Kutuzov/Alabama fest. Since you can not say one T10 is stronger than the other because they are all strong in their own way. I mean sure Hindi's and CQs are good ships but you could have equally good results in the monty or des memes for example. :)

Lads, altough OP shouldve posted in another thread as already stated, isnt this post somewhat of a flashback to where we all started? Back when I started this game I was happy with a single dev strike on an enemy even if it meant my own death and only something like 12k dmg.... Thinking : "Oh damn I totally oooooowned that guy" I had no clue it was either good or bad but it just felt awesome. Now after all these games my standards have raised a little bit and I just facepalm when I see DDs doing the same thing. But just to point out that we were all noobs once. Let him have his feeling of accomplishment. When OP has enough battles with these results his standards of a 'good game' will raise as it did for all of us. :)

@15JG52Adler @Redcap375 That is true my kind sir. Only solution is that there should be more competent cv players. Starting with myself ^^ haha *double post, phone is doing weird stuff

That's just not true mate. I've seen plenty of T9 CVs annihilate the enemies of whom most where t10.

I don't understand the point you are trying to make. That big clans are against 9vs9 because of what exactly?

Would be problematic for a lot of small clans who can hardly field 7 players. The 9vs9 used in tournaments is fine since clans sign up for it but CW should remain more accessible imo.
